In Italian "Cortile" translates into courtyard which is an appropriate name for our display of fine Italian machina on the 18th fairway of the Bob O'Connor Golf Course at Schenley Park. As you may know, The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is the only Vintage Race held on city streets in North America and includes some white knuckle off-camber turns brushing stone walls in s-bends downhill. (if you think that's a mouthful to read you should see it in person!)
In 2008, at the 26th running of The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, "All Italian Cars" were featured as the "Marque of the Year" We had an overwhelming response! But there was no local car club and no local dealers to manage an all Italian car show.
Jim Shaw, one of our car show participants, will prepare a wonderful lunch while we are serenaded by opera tenor John Walter. Local artist Johno Prascak is creating a special piece for Alfa Romeo's Proiettore Macchina tribute.
The Cortile area not only has it's own private entrance, @ Gate G, so you can bypass all of the inbound traffic, but is also the only car show that boasts the glorious setting of our host The Pittsburgh Golf Club, which offers a cash bar.
The entrance to the Cortile is on Northumberland Street, just below the Schenley Park Golf Course clubhouse at the corner of Forbes Avenue and Schenley Drive. The 2010 Show opens on Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 AM and cars are displayed until 5:00 PM. Cortile and Grand Prix are held rain or shine.
Cost for 2010 $100 per car and includes lunch for two. We are working on a special area for our two wheeled machina. Additional lunches can be purchased. A cash bar will also be available. There is no formal judging in car show. Visit www.pvgp.org/cortile for more details and online payment option (we should have this live by Jan 2010). Want to see a dashcard sample? CLICK HERE
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization with a mission to hold a world-class vintage automotive event for charity. It is the region's premier summer event for hundreds of thousands of automotive enthusiasts in that it combines charitable fundraising with car shows and vintage sports car racing on city streets. The 2010 Race Week runs from July 16th through the 25th culminating with our 28th annual vintage races and car shows at Schenley Park on the weekend of July 24/25. Since 1983 this volunteer-driven event has raised over $2.5 million for the Autism Society of Pittsburgh & Allegheny Valley School.

I just created a CORTILE Group Page on Facebook as several members have asked if we have a presence on Facebook so that they can add photo's and share with their personal friends. If you're on FACEBOOK be sure and share the Cortile with your friends!
